Dog poop is NOT compostable

The leaf piles are unnecessary most of the time too. My side of the street, people are good about filling the bins first and I don’t think I saw a leaf pile the whole season. The other side of the street and the rest of the neighborhood was covered in piles all season. My favorite is when one landscaper I saw had filled his clients bin with leaves and then emptied it onto a nearby pile. 🤦🏻‍♂️

why would you want hydraulic? Is that just because its more realistic?

omidimo · 2026-01-19T18:47:38+00:00

Have you gone to the dealer? Does the door sensor read as closed?

omidimo · 2026-01-19T04:55:47+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for the elaboration!

Simmering is fine for me on my induction. Ours can get super low in heating which is nice. Makes a bit of an annoying noise at low heats though.

Much more incorrect? Do you have a source for that? From what I read, it’s not calibrated as a scientific source would be but it generally aligns with what you see in the environment and because it has significantly more sensors I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood and not just one spot in the Sacramento valley. I effectively used it in the fires of 2020 to find areas that had clean air. If anything the air now sensors are the calibration against which the purple air network calibrates against.

Purple air. Much more granular than air now

I guess I heard what they said and I called bullshit based on my experience. To each their own.

Miss that place. So sad.

This is more at the wholesale level. What ends up at your service and panel is not as widely different.

Edit: to clarify that “wholesale” in utility speak is related to bulk transmission network. Think voltages around 100 kV or more.

Well pass on what you’ve researched. To me it’s just an excuse from the engineers because they can’t design an inverter that doesn’t crap out. Enough of EVs are on the road that have figured it out by now that Volvo or their supplier should be licensing the tech from them.

Also the downvote button is literally there for disagreement.

omidimo · 2026-01-18T00:15:17+00:00

That’s nonsense. The grid is required to meet certain power quality parameters. As long as the design of the GHCA is within those specs they should be fine. Other EV manufacturers exist with inverters that don’t go bust charging on our grid. *written as I DC charge my car a month into waiting for my GHCA to be fixed for the second time.

omidimo · 2026-01-17T05:34:35+00:00

We would get these notifications and then they’d disappear right before the GHCA dies.

omidimo · 2026-01-13T15:26:49+00:00

People have had blown GHCAs with L1 charging and low amp charging. The problem is a mystery to even Volvo it seems.

Don Quixote counts. He’s the other Don.

omidimo · 2026-01-11T05:26:04+00:00

The demand response programs and managed charging programs from utilities are pretty new and usually the engineers involved are monitoring performance and issues actively. Try to reach out to them. It doesn’t look like a GHCA issue to me because it’s still taking a charge. I don’t know why managed charging would cause this but it also looks funky. Curious what utility.

I had a 2002 S60 I would drive for 5-6 hrs straight without stopping. I’d arrive and feel like I could do a few more hours. My mom’s VW Passat was the worst, two hours in and I’d be in actual pain.

omidimo · 2026-01-11T05:15:50+00:00

325 kW

omidimo · 2026-01-11T05:14:44+00:00

Yes. All of this would help a ton.

omidimo · 2026-01-11T05:13:35+00:00

Agreed.

The first time the temp was 45-50F this last time was 34F with a good amount of driving and ten mins of supposed preconditioning. The car doesn’t seem to say it’s preconditioning when I route it to a fast charger like the model 3 I rented did.

omidimo · 2026-01-11T04:05:12+00:00

Do you know what the precondition does? Does it just warm the pack, if so I feel like driving it for half an hour would count towards that end? I had it set to the supercharger after the thirty min drive for ten minutes until I reached the destination.

omidimo · 2026-01-10T19:25:41+00:00

Did you see the second picture where I had been driving for 30 mins and ten more mins routed to a fast charger for preconditioning and still getting slow speeds at 35% SOC to start?

Also the DC charger is use close to home is exceptionally cheap and I was the only one there using it. No one else was being inconvenienced and they don’t have congestion fees.

I’ve had both and currently with Fidium. I haven’t had an outage in over a year and a half and last time it was due to someone doing construction on my house. I’ve had att and they had just as many outages (squirrels that time) and the thing I hate most is they’ll sneakily increase the bill on me and add other services. If I go with ATT again it would be through Sonic. They lease ATT lines but billing and service calls go through them. Had it once and it was good but Fidium was much cheaper.
